The model shown is the luxurious two-door Electra hardtop which measures less than 55 inches in height yet retains approximately the same headroom as last year's Buick. The "delta-wing" styling of the rear fenders that flare out to a point, and twin headlights that are set on an angle give the new Buick a look that is light and jaunty. Compound windshields that curve back Into the roof and eliminate wind noise are a feature on all 1959 Buicks. The Electra Is powered by a 401-cubic inch V-8 engine with 10.5-to-l compression ratio. Twin turbine Dynafiow and power steering are standard on all models in the Electra series. phasized by the fact that only one percent of all Oregon farm ers were under 25 years of age in 1954. At the other end of the age scale, 17 percent of Oregon's far mers were 65 years or older at the last census. A'verage age of farm operators in Oregon Is 50.4 years. While slightly higher than the 49.7 age for 1950, it is similar to the 1945 and 1940 figures of 50.01 and 50.6 years, respectively. Little or no change in the state average coupled with a decline in percentage of young farmers has resulted in a marked "bun ching up" around the 50-year average. Twenty-five percent of all Oregon farmers are in the age group of 45 to 54 years, and 88 percent are at least 35 years old. Jefferson county rates the dis tinction of having Oregon's youngest farm operators aver age age, 45.3 years. Multnomah has the oldest 52.4 years. Youngest average ages are In eastern Oregon. Of the state's 15 counties having farm oper ators averaging less than 50 years of age, only two were among western Oregon's 19 coun ties: Tillamook with 47.9 years and Linn with 49.2. Only four of eastern Oregon's 17 counties average 50 years or more. Baker, Harney, Umatilla, and Union were a fraction above the 50-year mark. made on selected items.

Oregon now has the smallest proportion of farm operators un der 35 years of age and the larsost percentage over 65 years Of any census year dating back to 1920, says D Curtis Mumford, Oregon State college agricultural economist. Tho reDort. based on the 1954 federal census of agriculture, shows that while the average age of Oregon farmers has changed little In the past two decades, there -are fewer "young farm ers.

OREGON Higher Prices Put Squeeze on Dollars Spent by Consumers Higher prices and lower in comes continue to squeeze the buying power of the consumer's dollar, according to an agricul tural extension economist at Ore gon State college. Mrs Elvera Horrell says It now takes $1.03 to buy what $1 would buy a year ago.At the same time, incomes have slipped somewhat lower than they were at mid 1957. Higher retail prices, that have inched up to the highest point on record this June, com bined with these lower incomes, have put a double pinch on the consumers purse strings Although recent reports show that Incomes are on the upswing, per capita spendable income is still not quite up to what it was last year at this time, the econo mist notes It cost the consumer more to buy all major living items, and on most she has to pay an all time high. Food Increased the most, clothing increased the least. According to Mrs Horrell It now takes a little more than$1.04 to buy the same amount of food that $1 would buy a year ago; slightly more than $1.04 for a 1957 dollar's worth of medical care and reading and recreation; about $1.03 for personal care; nearly $1.03 for transportation; and almost $1.02 for housing.

Standard seeks oil in 23 of every dollar we take in goes strange places... to meet your future oil needs On frozen plains, Li the desert, in the jungle, on ocean floors our search for oil has spread far afield as discovery becomes increasingly difficult and more costly. The United States has less than 10 of the free world's population, but we use 55 of its oil production. Consumption is rising at a rate that will call for as much oil in the next 15 years as we produced in the last hundred. In answer to the challenge of keeping America supplied in the future, Standard last year invested more money than ever before in oil exploration, development of producing fields, research and construe tion of facilities or nearly one-fourth of every dollar we took in. Year after year, Standard is reinvesting a big share of its income in the never-ending search for petroleum to meet the growing needs of motorists, industry, home owners, farms and the Armed Forces. Prof rets In petrofeum meane... Oil companies will have to invest more than 80 billion dollars in the next 10 years in the U. S. alone to find and develop the oil you will need.
